    The consoles occasionally exploding into sparks or rocks is on purpose. It gives all the engineers that aren’t the chief engineer something to do.

          Related to your second link:

          When I was young, my friend and I got evicted from our first apartment for having way too many wild parties. When we were moving, we tried to fix as much of the damage as we could because we were broke and afraid of being sued.

      Billups: “My team replaced all the Cordry rocks in the ceiling panels on the bridge.”
      Ransom: “Ugh, hate those things. They always fall out and hit me on the head when we take damage.”
      Billups: “Well, their non-centrosymmetry disrupts the charge leptons in the isolinear pathways of the main deflector, which then causes-”

      They could do it at the expense of fewer lives at least. I realize it’s Bridge Crew and they’ll come back, but do they really need to keep climbing the Black Mountain just to give the engineers some busywork?
